As a Lucifer in DxD

Chapter 77: Lucifer Clan Tournament-V



Third Person PoV

Gradually the spear lost its momentum and strength, leading to Cain tossing it back to Scathach.

He then gently looked towards Ingvild and sent her back to the stands with a simple wave of his hands.

"Winner, Lady Scathach."

Cain was looking a bit tired, from the look of his body and clothes. His right arm was completely mangled and bleeding while his clothes were non existent for his right arm.

"That was something, who knew the cute and innocent looking Ingvild-chan had that much strength, she would have killed me if we fought seriously." Rayla said.

"Not really, Cain would interfere." Grayfia said.

"Well he would but you get the idea, anyways Grayfia, what are your hobbies? Now that I think about it, we don't know much about you."

"My hobby is acting like a maid." Grayfia said nonchalantly, as if that wasn't already known by everyone.

Cain was now once again ready, as he had changed and healed himself, courtesy of Morgan.

"The new matchups are."

Nyx v/s Medusa

Zeaira v/s Scathach

Semi-final 1: Night v/s Gorgon

The two contestants were standing in the arena facing each other, Medusa was as ready as she could ever be.

Her eyes were uncovered and she was in her Gorgon form, she was saving her Snake deity form for later.

She knew that she was nowhere near as strong as Grayfia, hence her chances of winning were next to zero.

But how could she accept defeat? Even if she were to lose, she would be graceful. Whereas Nyx looked just as calm as she was in the stands.

"Begin."

Medusa used her eyes to seal off any magical abilities Nyx may have and tried to rush and engage her in hand to hand combat.

But to her surprise, the shadows in the arena crept up to her and slashed at her. Her large body moved faster than it should for its size and she dodged the shadows.

"I sealed off any magic, then why?"

"Why did you think I used magic?" Nyx asked in response to Medusa's question.

"You wouldn't have that much divinity to spare for even such mealsy attacks, you don't have Olympus providing you with divinity. Echidna does that."

"Little girl, I am one of the primordial gods, I also have my own divine realm which is a domain for me, I have plenty of divinity to spare. I am not like these half baked gods of Olympus, I am Nyx, the one who even Zeus fears. I am far above the likes of Echidna."

Medusa could only gulp hearing Nyx speak, and without waiting for any longer she used her true form, she became a deity of snakes.

But Medusa's shock only grew more as instead of finding Nyx standing in front of her, she found herself.

A similar replica of her, except that it was completely black, as if submerged in darkness.

"You know, if you stare at the abyss it stares back at you."

Nyx said playfully and with that the dull eyes of the dark Medusa gained sentience and the black snake deity roared.

"What the-!?"

Before Medusa could say her sentence, she was tackled by the dark Medusa, throwing her to the floor.

But a fake would be a fake, Medusa was a lot better at controlling her powers now, but the Medusa Nyx had created was a replica from her past.

'I can win it.'

And with renewed determination, Medusa rushed towards the different her, but alas her determination didn't last long, as her reptilian body was ensnared by tendrils made out of shadows.

"You shouldn't forget about me, Medusa."

And the last thing Medusa saw was her own face grinning and landing a solid punch on her face knocking her out.

"Winner, Lady Nyx."

Cain announced, he was a little surprised that Nyx could do something like this, it would seem that working with souls has helped her quite a bit.

He carried Medusa who had reverted back to her casual form and laid her beside Echidna.

Nyx came to the stands too, walking calmly. She sat down at her place, and before Cain could start the next match, she uttered words which were very unexpected.

"I forfeit."

"Why do you say so, Lady Nyx?" Cain asked calmly, understanding her reasoning.

"I won't fight Zeaira, she is even stronger than Hades, and as of now I am not as strong as my prime. And fighting the Godslayer as a God is a recipe for disaster."

"You presume I can't stop the two of you if things get out of hand?"

"You can't, unless you give up this distasteful, butler roleplay." Scathach said sternly.

"Why so, Lady Scathach?" Cain asked her in a teasing voice.

"You are weak like this, you are not a Lucifer, the embodiment of pride. You are just a common butler right now."

Cain didn't answer her and looked into her eyes and found she truly believed what she said.

'It seems I might have unintentionally pissed her off.'

"Do you truly wish to forfeit, Lady Nyx?"

"Yes, I am already third ranked and happy with my strength."

"I see, then why don't we make the tournament more interesting?"

"What do you mean, Cain?" Zeaira asked.

"I shall face both of the remaining contestants at once, then I will decide the first and second rank."

Cain said confidently.

"Are you mad?" Rayla asked Cain.

"No, I am simply doing what any butler should do, making things easier for his master, this way there would be no match tomorrow and Lady Scathach would find the answer to her question."

"Fine, I am in." Zeaira said.

"What? Zeaira you can't be serious!" Scathach exclaimed.

"I am, look. I know his little charde is rubbing you the wrong way, but he is stronger than both of us. If we want to win, it will be this way."

"Fine."

"Then please, go take your places, my ladies, I shall join you shortly."

The two of them walked onto the arena side by side.

"Did you really have to provoke him like that?"

"Yes, how else would he fight me seriously?"

"You know one day your battle mania will bite you in your ass."

"I didn't know you could curse like that."

"Oh, you don't know how much I can curse, when he slams me down like he owns me."

"I can't hear you!"

By then both of them had reached near the place they needed to be. And then Cain appeared in front of them.

"The referee for this match is our Hell friendly Beezelebub, Ajuka-kun!"

"I am still of the idea that this tournament is a stupid thing."

The green haired devil king said with a sigh. Cain had just taken him out of his laboratory and talked him into doing this.

"Come on, Ajuka-sama~ it's just a match."

"Please stop that, it's creepy."

Ajuka said, shivering and rubbing his shoulders with his arms. Zeaira could only laugh lightly seeing that.

The match which would be the last match of the first Lucifer Clan Tournament began with a calm shout from the former Astaroth.

"Begin."

Both Scathach and Cain rushed at each other at speeds faster than anyone could see.

Both Ajuka and Zeaira were able to see them fine, but Zeaira only followed the upcoming clash with her eyes, she was seeing how serious Cain is.

And the two of them reached each other, and Scathach thrusted her spear at Cain, but he nimbly dodged it and got to her behind and he raise his hand.

And with a speed which blinded even Zeaira, landed a quick slap on the latex clad, bubble butt of Scathach.

*Spank*

And then he quickly took his distance from the Godslayer. Everyone was shocked by this, no one could even believe what just happened.

"He did not just spank, The Scathach, in the middle of a fight." Brynhildr said in horror.

"He just did, my dear Valkyrie." Rayla said, stifling her laughter.

"Cain Livan Lucifer, I will skewer you with my spear."

"Bold words, Lady Scathach~"

Scathach finally had enough and got serious, and with a twirl of her spear multiple runes were etched into the air.

Boosting her physical stats and her spear, the Godslayer rushed at the wannabe Alfred once more, with vengeance in her mind.

Cain also reciprocated and rushed but found his stepping vanish.

"I also am fighting, Cain."

Zeaira finally took action and created a crucial opening for Scathach. But Cain was not deterred; he let his body fall and using his hand did a front flip, making his foot come infront of Scathach's face.

But alas, the place his hands were on were again destroyed by his wife, leading to him disbalancing himself and Scathach landed a kick to his side.

And Cain was launched, but he quickly regained his footing and came to a halt, near the end of the elevated platform. His smirk was still on his face.

"Splendidly done, Lady Scathach, Lady Zeaira."

"Fuck off."

Scathach growled before crouching and jumping towards him like a feline predator. Her knee, on the same level as Cain's face.

But Cain easily redirected her using his hand and ignoring her ran towards Zeaira.

"Oh you don't!"

Zeaira said and the platform vanished, but this time Cain didn't lose his footing and began running on air.

But his speed was visibly slow as compared to running on solid ground.

"Miss me?"

Cain heard Scathach whisper into his ear, before he teleported away. Cain barely dodged a sphere of red destruction, as he appeared away from Scathach.

He finally glanced at Scathach who was standing on the air, using runes.

'Runes are so overpowered.'

"Come on, Lady Scathach, use your other set of powers too."

Scathach didn't speak but the grinding of her teeth gave away her state of mind, but all of a sudden her anger vanished.

It was almost as if she wasn't just ready to gut Cain like a fish.

"I admit, I was wrong. But that doesn't change anything Cain, you will not win as long as you are not the King of Devils."

And with that the temperature of the arena dropped low and Valkyries made up of ice sprung up one by one.

The runes once again glowed strengthening the Godslayer even more, a second spear appeared in her hands and she crouched low, loaded like a spring, ready to shoot.

Zeaira surrounded herself with orbs of PoD, the time for playing around was over, both the challengers were now taking the fight seriously.

Her eyes were finally focused at Cain, she was really getting into this. Afterall if she lost to Scathach, how can she maintain her dignity as the first wife?

Cain also changed his stance and hundreds of darklight spears rippled out of thin air behind him.

His eyes lost their mischievous glint and hardness was now visible in them, he was done playing around.

"I still say this is a stupid idea."

Ajuka said lazily but his aura was anything but that, his body and mind were ready to handle any problem.

The audience likewise had sensed the change in the atmosphere. Everyone watched with bated breath as the long awaited clash was about to begin.

The wind stopped moving and Cain blinked. And the wind moved at a ridiculous speed, in less than a second, the time taken by Cain to blink.

He was surrounded by ice swords, orbs of PoD, and a red spear near his throat, seeing such a scary loadout, a smile broke out on his face, one full of excitement.

"Bring it on."

And chaos broke out in the arena.

AN:- I have decided a few good options.

1.) Fate/Stay Night: But with male Saber and female shirou and female EMIYA.

2.) Harry potter: WBWL but Harry goes to Gryffindor while his brother goes to Slytherin. Instead of Hrey going to Slytherin.

3.)MHA: Gamer Izuku Midoriya, with some twists.
